Today, in Tennessee, it stormed like crazy due to Hurricane Harvey. I brought my boyfriend home safely to his parents' house, but it rained harder once we arrived, so I started to wait inside. He's an adult but has a curfew, so they kicked me back out into the storm. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to help a friend move into her new apartment. We were half-way through when it started to rain, and in my anger I yelled that it's like these things happen just to annoy me. Then we heard the tornado sirens. FML
Today, I was home alone and it started to rain. It hadn't rained in days so I went out on my balcony and ran around. I felt great until I realized that my door had been swung shut because of the wind, and it had no handle. I had to wait outside in the rain for two hours. FML
Today, my house is on lockdown. I recently moved to Georgia from Rhode Island to be with my boyfriend. The state is on high alert for an ice storm. I'm stuck inside with my terrified boyfriend, who's calling it "the storm of the century". I used to walk to school in this weather. FML
Today, my football practice ended early due to severe weather. Not only had I misplaced my phone earlier in the day, both my parents thought the other had picked me up. I was in the rain for an hour and a half. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend that a tornado is not the same thing as a hurricane. I couldn't convince him, and he still won't talk to me. FML
Today, my house was damaged by a tornado. I called my mother to see if I could stay with her for a few days. Her response? "I warned you not to move in with a man. This is God's way of punishing you." I've been married to said man for almost a year now. FML
Today, the rain was pouring really hard outside. I found this out when it started raining on me at 4 am inside my dorm room. Thanks college. FML
Today, I looked outside with a grimace at the very heavy rainfall through which I had to trudge a long way. I waited ten minutes for it to let up, only to find it was getting heavier. So, I started walking anyway. After getting soaked to the bone, I walked through my door, and it stopped. FML
Today, I had a huge yard sale. Since I live in a good neighborhood, I decided to leave the stuff out tonight rather than pack it all in for only a few hours. The news didn't say anything about the impending severe thunderstorm. FML
Today, there was a huge storm. There were no buses, so I walked for an hour to see my boyfriend of two years, who (usually rather the unemotionally type) had called me, crying. When I got there soaking wet, he told me that he doesn't love me anymore, and it makes him sad. I had to walk back. FML

I would be a little cautious about dating a guy that dependent on his parents if I were you. The fact that he didn't try to stand up to them for something as simple as this basically means that he will never look out for you. Sorry OP.

He’s not an adult. And he’s from a family that doesn’t care about your safety. Ghost him!

Well, he's a literal son of a bitch, or bitches if you prefer.

2 words... dump him.

I can't remember the last time it 'stormed like crazy' over here. Just because your boyfriend is now bigger than a child, that does not make him an adult.

On the Fort Campbell/Clarksville end it did very much storm like crazy on Thursday and Friday.

If y'all get serious, I think it's pretty clear his family would be the monster-inlaws. If they have no concern for your safety. Your "man" did not defend nor care whether or not you were comfortable to drive/leave in that weather, so he isn't gunna care about much else. Ghost his punk bitch ass and get a man who cares if you are out in a Hurricane.

You need to kick that man to the curb if he's not standing up for you. The least his parents can do is let you wait in the living room until the storm has passed, especially since you took him home.

I would've had a few words to say to his parents. If I made sure HE got home safe, but none of them cared about MY safety, I would've broken up with him.

Why does HIM having a curfew mean his parents have to behave like barbarans? They shouldn't turn out a visiting neighbor into a severe storm, much less someone attached to their family.

Time to get a new boyfriend. No real man would send his woman back out in the rain.
